Help with unit ID. Ross 1910

[Claven2]

I think 117 is a rack number. 451 is the serial number. 1916 is the issue (and probably mfgr too) year.

Unit marking is often found on the front side of the stock's pistol grip.

"451" is only part of the serial number......the serial number for this rifle is 451 over 1916, followed by "LE". There were heaps of Mk III's made and issued in 1916 using number "451" and "1916", but only one of them was part of the other 998 rifles in the "LE" series.
An extremely clean example indeed, but from what I see, I think "Chislerboy" (could he be the son of Saint Cliff of Chisler?) is right on track regarding creative stamping....
